Obama’s Revisionism He predicted a strong economy, but blames his failure on Bush.

Americans’ patience is running thin. Unemployment has been above 8 percent for 40 months. Since the recovery started, over 7.2 million Americans have given up looking for work and left the labor force. It is during recessions, not recoveries, that people are supposed to give up looking for work.

But it is obviously all Bush’s fault. At least, that is President Obama’s new take. During his big economic address on Thursday, Obama repeatedly said that the economic problems we face today were “a decade in the making.”

But there is a problem with Obama’s logic. Over the last three-and-a-half years, the president and his administration have continually claimed that the stimulus was working and that a robust recovery was starting. If the legacy of the Bush administration policies was going to hinder the recovery so badly, why did Obama keep on predicting that things were going to get better soon? . . .

Next month, Obama will blame Herbert Hoover for channeling evil economies to him, while he sleeps.

What else has he got?

Sam Donaldson (Yesterday?): "Many on the political right believe this president ought not to be there – they oppose him not for his polices and political view but for who he is, an African American," Donaldson told the Huffington Post in an email.

Sam Donaldson, who heckled Reagan on the White House lawn.

I guess that means the Dems oppose Romney because he is Mormon.

We only oppose Obama’s black half, we must agree with his white half.

Many of us supported Herman Cain.

RE :”Many of us supported Herman Cain.”

Well that is another sad story, I still like Michelle Bachmann,

Romney will screw us big time, count on it,

Well that is another sad story, I still like Michelle Bachmann,

I voted for Bachman in the primary. But the point is, for us, it's about character, talent, and ideas, not skin color.

Funny how the fact that Obama was a U.S. Senator from January 2007 to January 2009 never enters the discussion.

When he starts that “we didn't know how bad it was” BS, why isn't he asked how that could be since he was a United States Senator, part of the Crooked Gang of 100.

Was he Stupid then and Lying now, or was he just goofing off for two years? Oh wait, I forgot he was running for President those two years. Silly me.

If true, I'm sure he will screw us with a lot less vigor than Obama has, is and will in a second term.

Maybe, but Romney will be able to do it with Republican votes something Obama can't do easily. Obama didn't run as a conservative as Romney did in the primary.

Remember how TARP was ‘good’ under GWB and bad under Obama? Same with deficits?
Remember how GWB signed the bill banning light bulbs in 2007 and Republicans were so embarrassed last year trying to repeal it that they made believe Obama had passed it instead of GWB?

A liberal as POTUS in charge of the only alternative party to Dems can cause great damage that Obama can't. And fighting him as POTUS on it as Republicans fought GWB in 2007 and 2008 just helps Dems anyway.

” Many of us supported Herman Cain.”

As I did.
